Summary
Hari Nahar is the 10th of Dhul Hijjah, known as Hari Raya Haji or Hari Raya Korban. The word nahar means slaughtering, and the day is so named because the sacrificial offering is prescribed on it for Muslims who are able. On this day pilgrims begin the stoning at Jamratul Kubra and it is recommended for them to perform the sacrifice, ideally at Mina. The text cites a hadith stating that the greatest day in the sight of Allah SWT is Hari Nahar, followed by Hari Qarr.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hari Nahar ialah hari 10 Zulhijjah (Hari Raya Haji atau Hari Raya Korban).
